The Warriors are facing a new test and may lose the 7+3 iron gate. If he leaves the team, will he lose three times?

From the perspective of salary, it is difficult for the Warriors to perform heavy operations this summer, and it is already difficult to retain the original team as much as possible. After all, Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler, the two aces, have a salary of more than half of the salary cap, which will greatly restrict the management in terms of operations.

According to Bay Area media reports, although the free market has not yet begun, the Warriors have faced new tests and the team may lose the backcourt iron gate Gary Payton II. Although his data is not that outstanding, Gary Payton II is a key flag in the Warriors team. Last season, he averaged 6.5 points, 3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 steals per game. Although Gary Payton II is not good at outside shooting, his overall shooting percentage of 57.4% is very exaggerated, not to mention that he is a very important part of the Warriors' defensive system.

Judging from the current situation, if Jonathan Cumingga leaves, the Warriors' salary pressure will be reduced, and Gary Payton II may return to the team, otherwise he will inevitably be lost. Moreover, Gary Payton II is not only for the Warriors, but if he finally chooses to leave the team, he will likely lose three times. Needless to say, Gary Payton II is a very useful substitute rotation in his health. If he loses him for no reason, the depth of the Warriors' lineup will be further weakened. And among the backcourt players, he is the only defensive player. If Gary Payton II can't keep it, there will be a lot of colanders in the Warriors. Judging from the development of personal career, it may not be a good thing if Gary Payton II left the Warriors. Because other teams do not have aces like Stephen Curry, even Draymond Green, a master who has both pick-and-roll and support, seems to be difficult to find. So if you go to other teams, it will be difficult for Gary Payton II to play his strengths and do nothing on the offensive end. At most, it will be a defensive gate. Maybe Gary Payton II can make some money, but he is almost 33 years old. If he leaves the Warriors, he may be destined to leave the league after the next contract is over.

In the end, Gary Payton II's new club team may not be fully rewarded for him. In fact, after the 21-22 season, Gary Payton II, who had just won the championship with the team, was signed by the Trail Blazers. As a result, his data and efficiency plummeted, and even caused an injury misdiagnosis farce. After only half a season, he returned to the Warriors. It can be seen that Gary Payton II's instructions may only be held by the Warriors and Steve Cole. If it were replaced by other teams, it would be hard to say.
